In what many call his signature role, Jack Nicholson plays Jack “Heeeere’s Johnny!” Torrance, who has come to the elegant, isolated Overlook Hotel to act as off-season caretaker and try to write a novel. He’s brought his wife (Shelley Duvall) and young son (Danny Lloyd). But though the guests are gone for the season, there are some spectral hotel residents who never leave.

And they are very, very interested in the new family.

This film will be shown in the same aspect ratio as when it was originally released in cinemas in 1980.

Tickets are $10.50 for adults and $8.50 for children and seniors.
